Indonesian Trainees in Japanese SMEs, Capital Accumulation and Micro-Small Business Development in Indonesia: A Preliminary Study

Indonesia is one of the world important suppliers of young trainees in Japan. We present a preliminary study’s result on Indonesian trainees in Japanese SMEs and their potential to develop micro-small business in Indonesia. This paper utilizes three step approaches. First, an online survey of potency of Indonesian trainees in Japan has been conducting since October 2007 followed up by a Japan-wide Entrepreneurship and Banking Trainings (PWEP). Second, web-based business start-ups consultation forums for Indonesian trainees have been conducted since January 2008 followed up by networking creation with Bank of Indonesia. Third, a key performance indicator of business proposed and money invested was developed. We report three main findings: first, over 70% of Indonesian trainees were working at manufacturing-based Japanese SMEs and might acquire a necessary human capital in developing micro-small manufacturing-based business start-ups. In addition, more than 60% of them could save their income at least 25-40% of their total monthly income, suggested that capital foundation required for business creation might then be compromised. Second, the structural constraint of unmonitored Indonesian trainees might cause problems in which—after having cultural distress while working in Japan and less conducive condition in managing their capital after returning to Indonesia—the potential to become an law-breaking overstay workers is considerably high and might cause a more sophisticated problem in the future. Third, the importance of directing step for Indonesian trainees who are interested in creating businesses and key performance indicators for measuring its achievement are acknowledged.Indonesian trainees, Japanese SMEs, PWEP, capital accumulation, key performance indicator, compliance meter

Assessment of Geosite and Geomorphosite at South Solok Aspiring Geopark Area

South Solok is one of the five districts designated as the aspiring of the Ranah Minang Geopark. Various reliefs and geological structures cause the diversity of landscapes to be an attraction for tourists and ecosystems with biodiversity. The study intends to identify geosite and geomorphosite in the South Solok area with field observations to describe the state of geology, geomorphology of geosite sites, and geomorphosite. Site assessment is carried out quantitatively with five assessment parameters; scientific, educational, functional, tourist, and posting activities on tourist sites on social media. Field observation found 17 sites classified into four groups, specifically waterfalls, manifestations of hot springs, geomorphological landscapes, and caves. Based on the results of the highest value representation obtained by the Batukapal Cave sites with a value of 44.86% and the lowest at Timbulun Waterfall at 0.1%. Of the 17 sites, four sites are considered the main sites in the research area: Suliti Waterfall, Sapan Maluluang Hot Spring Manifestation, Batukapal Cave, and Camintoran

Control Structure On Damage Zone and Fault Plane to Geometry Of Quartz Veins and Calcite In Muaradua Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan, South Sumatra, Indonesia

Geological mapping was carried out on the Gilas and Malau rivers in the Muaradua area, South Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra by observing the presence of joints, faults, and veins in the granite and phyllite rock outcrops of the Tarap Formation. Research on pattern geometry and vein type in the crushing zone is focused on measuring the direction (trend) of veins and joints. The measurement results are then analyzed to obtain a general pattern of quartz and calcite veins so that the orientation of their development can be known. The method used in this study is in the form of determining the orientation and geometry of the veins based on classifications that refer to several studies, then an analysis is carried out using DemNAS data to determine the general direction of the straightness pattern of the study area. The quartz veins that developed in the study area have an extensional fracture type with the geometry found in the form of isolated, abutting, cutting, mutually-cutting, and crosscutting. The veins that develop in the research area are relatively north-south and west-east and indicated the presence of a fault and traces of deformation that occurred in the study area. With the help of veins and joints found in the study area, it is possible to determine the structural control of the presence of a crushing zone in the fault plane

The area of this research is in the Lintau Buo Region, Tanah Datar District, West Sumatra. Based on the regional geology, the location is on the boundary of the Ombilin Basin which has active tectonic conditions. This research is to get data of tectonic levels using a quantitative geomorphological approach carried out in the Batang Sinamar sub-watershed and the Batang Tampo sub-watershed. Some of the parameters used for this study include Drainage Density (Dd), Bifurcation Ratio (Rb), Hypsometric Integral (HI), Valley Floor Width and Height Ratio (Vf), Mountain Front Sinousity (Smf), and Asymmetry Factor (AF). And then the outcome of the parameters compared using IAT (Index of Active Tectonic) analysis. The results of the calculation are obtained with segment 1 entering class 3, namely moderate tectonics, and segments 2 and 3 entering class 2, namely high tectonics. The drainage pattern of the river at this research location is a pararellel drainage pattern which is controlled by geological structures such as folds. The results calculation of the IAT analysis is the landform of the morphology research location is controlled by moderate to high levels of tectonic activity and produces various denudational and erosional processes that cause soil movement and landslides

Middle Miocene Black Shale of Airbenakat Formation in Berau Areas, Jambi: are they potential source rock?

The research location is geologically located in Jambi Sub-basin composed by Peneta Formation (KJp), Airbenakat (Tma), and Muara Enim (Tmpm). Specifically this research focuses on the physical characteristics and geochemistry of Middle Miocene black shale from Airbenakat Formation. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the black shale of this formation has the potential as a source rock. The method of this research are field observation that includes the description of rock samples and geological mapping, and laboratory analysis including rock geochemical analysis. Three samples were taken from black and fine-grained shale. Total organic carbon (TOC) values of the three samples taken ranged from 0.38-0.42%, the weight of TOC indicates a potentially close enough to produce hydrocarbons. the pyrolysis results show that the S1 data gives a value below 0.5 HC/g and S2 gives a value below 2.5 HC/g, so it can be seen that the three rock samples that tested are not sufficient enough to produce hydrocarbons. Overall the sample has a S2/S3 ratio ranging from 0.09-0.23 and Tmax-HI data has values ranging from 8-19 mg HC/g TOC, so it can be seen that the ratio S2/S3 less than 1 and the value of the index hydrogen below 50 mg HC/g TOC, It can be concluded that the samples are derived from type IV kerogen. The maximum temperature (Tmax) of pyrolysis shows a value of less than 4350C, where the values range from 350-4280C. So, it can be interpreted that the three samples are immature source rocks because the catagenesis phase to produce hydrocarbons has not been achieved. The conclusions is the three samples of black shale tested indicate potential as immature source rock and has the close enough ability to produce hydrocarbons. The result of the analysis then comparable with the result analysis of Airbenakat Formation Black Shale in Palembang Sub-basin which has fair-well ability to produce hydrocarbons. &nbsp
